Transfiguration - performance Olivier de Sagazan 2008
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gYBXRwsDjY
First response: scary but interesting, the form is changed but the person is same, the changed perception - not my friend, he is strange, really interesting how "transformation" change the feelings
Unbelievable: I like how he works with the clay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KyK6so3h0A
There were some comments about demons and expresion of his feelings. For me the performance is not comfortable, watching it I can not believe Olivier is normal human being :-). If he really express his inner demons, I am like that he has them not me :-)
Is art really about to show this? I have noticed that easiest way it to show something which shock people than something beautiful and fulfilled by piece and love.
I love this piece, especially it reminds how we are in hurry to do something, our thought rushing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDwKTE-1CnA&list=PL-NYzD6sKuAaeExdWTJV3FkbWh0t4dPpl
I am glad it is not about demons, Olivier explains his performance in these clips. When the information is given it really helps to understand the performance.

Especially the information he was born in Congo and the clay is in essence masks, it is clear there is African culture influence he says.

Conclusion
Have you been surprised by your responses to any of the works in Part One?
Of coarse, now when I have got contextual information of the works, my responses are changed. Now I understand what artists wanted to share. It completely changed my aware of what the art is or what it can express. A reminder of what Space, Time is. A communication medium of invisible/hidden things shared in our culture, our feelings. A wagon to point out to important things such as absurdity of war, religion fanaticism etc.
Have you felt inspired by any of the works you have looked at?
Absolutely. I think the research of installation art reveal me a lot of works which addressed my heart. Especially Bruce Nauman's work inspired me to make an installation which projection. Working name: Have you seen yourself from back? Idea: Audiences can see themselves from back when enter a room on a screen. There will be motivation for audiences to play with the image projected on the screen. Just first idea. After the Part One I am more aware of the place, objects and especially human being in photographs. I like to play with myself and image manipulation. These are from a hotel room I was last week because of business way.
I have just filmed the snowy wood and I play with the clips. My intention is to introduce the recorded wood in "other way" that it is not only the wood but place we live in, we came from. Coley's work inspired me to try to make some works focused on current enlightenment era which I have been interested in for two years (Eckart Tolle, Mooji, Rupert Spira). Humanity, Love, Tolerance, Forgiveness are values which need to highlighted. Especially in these migrants era in Europa.

I like the changed perception of the space here.

A Place Beyond Belief
My first response: what is hidden behind that text?
Questions: Is that building a masjid? Where we are? In which country? Is there a connection with Islam? What the sign is trying to tell us? Current problems around religion. The war with terrorists?
Type of work: site-specific work, piece connected with place. A representation of something important about the place.

A PLACE BEYOND BELIEF
https://vimeo.com/79395527
Knowing the context behind the text confirmed my inner feelings what the text is about. Nothing against religion but in opposite side, the HUMANITY the greatness we have inside us if we are able to tear down our judging list which we has been building for whole life.
He puts the piece on several places. Here is an article when it was installed in Kosovo as an testimony to confront the religious http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2012/sep/23/place-beyond-belief-kosovo-nathan-coley
It looks it can work on different places to rise up different points which man can think around (why man fight in the name of religion, race - current theme in Europe today).
I am not sure if the monologue changed the basic thing behind because on the first photo I saw first is the building - masjid - seeing it gave me first information. The monologue gave me more information, exact story and place - New York and I know what inspired to make that piece.
That is an amazing piece :-) (There will be no miracles here)

Do you think contextual information is essential to gaining a greater understanding of contemporary work?
If we have no contextual information our response to a piece is based on our experience, our inner thoughts, what we learned, what we know, our culture, our language, conditional mind, our person etc. Knowing context it gives us a pointer to something specific. Something more personal, something what happened somewhere else. Probably something what we are not aware and someone else want to point at that (A place beyond belief). Contextual information certainly change the reflection in our mind. I can say our deep inner sense (behind mind) somehow says it before we can get any information.
Do you think it should be an essential ingredient?
I do not think so. I think there are pieces without any contextual information, just you can see it and your thinking is working. There could be many explanation about what it is. The contextual information helps to see the piece (place) in other point of view. It is true, the contextual information changed my awareness of a piece when I have got the contextual information. The information can change the response to a piece in totality.
A Place Beyond Belief: knowing the contextual information reminds me there are greater things which we miss everyday under our stereotypes. It is great to remember what happened but Coley's text especially in Kosovo highlight what we must do to be better in connection the differences between us (religions, opinions, cultures). I do not know but Coley's work gives me hope there will be no borders in future (Imagine - John Lennon). As I am writing this text I have a thought how many lies are spread around us :-)
Searching things about piece There will be no miracles I found Coley's comment which is close to my thoughts: his job as an artist is to raise these questions. "I deal with the relationship between private and public space, state and church, and personal and political morals because I'm not prepared to leave those discussions and decisions to the government or the church. I don't think they're best placed to deal with it. The role of culture is to deal with those issues."

There Will Be No Miracles Here has a history: in interview, Nathan Coley states that there was a French medieval village where miracles were frequently taking place and peasants were getting out of hand. As a result, the king stationed a sign that said, “There will be no miracles here by order of the King.
Coley's work is driven by motivation to raise up questions around relationship between religions, morality, humanity. Those are connection across his work and big motivation.

Gallery visit
Sacral spaces
I visited a gallery where was shown sacral spaces. It was small exhibition with photographs of really nice spaces. I like the architecture but most captivating element is light here. The spaces has a special tone of mood and I can really easy imagine to have a rest, reading book, learn in that spaces. Even I see the space in photograph I can feel peace, balance, every space should have that :-).
The photographs were installed around the walls. In the center there was an object where were through-views. Behind them were lit small model of spaces. I have made a video record and it is impressive. It inspired me to make something similar, to visualise my thoughts.

I like the scene here. Man put into a foil bag is "dancing" in the space. What is that all about, without knowing any information. He can see the world as it is, the world is blurred, unwelcoming, closed. It remains me my basic school days. It is scary atmosphere, the sound supports it very well.

Bouncing in the corner https://youtu.be/JXieUZ_RNG4?t=227
I do not know exactly but it is interesting. Somebody is bouncing in the corner and I am able to watch, it is a state just to watch and do not think about it, just watch. it is enough.
Get out of my mind https://youtu.be/JXieUZ_RNG4?t=524
This performance is really creepy. Small room, two speakers and creepy voice. The rhythm of the voice is something what appeals me somehow to watch it. It is an expectation that I get more from that. There are few information from the place and sounds. Really, get out of my mind.

The installation of a sound system into glacier Vatnajökull and transmit the place via sound is great idea. The sound itself is not interesting but the information it is in a specific place gives the interesting element in it. You can hear sound in real time somewhere on the earth, not somewhere, it is a glacier Vatnajökull, you can experience the place via sound and photographs or you can find the place on the map (google earth). The authenticity of the sound gives another extent to that piece.

I like how she is using text. For example: A wave machine hidden inside the sea. I makes me laughing and it calls images about the wave machine. Great how it works with imagination.

Research Point
Andrei Tarkovsky
His films show the place fulfilled with strong feeling of mystery. Nothing is as we can see it. Something is hidden there. http://kafkasfilm.blogspot.cz/2013/02/stalker-tarkovsky.html
Douglas Huebler
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/376824693800276836/What is an artist relationship to a place? And how to photograph a place to be frightening, erotic, transcendent, passive, fevered, muffled? Huebler's work puts a question what we think about our relationship to a place. What we see and how we think about it. For me it is a state of mind. Artist and place and its representation. Context, story, history, anything that has an influence on our judge about a place.
Caspar David Friedrich
I like his paintings with human element in it. The lost man in Chasseur in the Forest is great representation of place, empty, without knowing where to go if there is place to go :-)
Robert Smithson
He photographed his birth town as it is an alien environment and really the photographs looks like they are from other planet. The achievment of representation of the places are great and again it appeals to thing about it. There is emptiness, tension, foreignness in these photographs.
Marine Hugonnier
She realized in her film Ariana profound limitation of the visual. When they wanted to film a panaromatic view in Afganistan they were not allowed to do it. When they overcome that obstacle, they recognized a conflict - standing on the "Televison Hill" they got a view of totality and also the fact the view is used as a strategic military view point. Difference between what is seen and what is invisible! Pleasure from seeing nice totality but not what is invisible (hidden) for audience.Joachim Koester
Without knowing it is the wood with extraordinary history I could guess I see ordinary wood. The context change the situation. When I have the context I see it in other way. My imagination has started projection in my mind :-).
